Recipes for Your Scrapbook
By Mrs. Harvey F. Rostiser.

This good pickle recipe was given me years ago by Mrs. Glen Gwin, Nappanee, Ind. The large cucumbers could be used as they are quartered. You will find they stay brittle.

Icicle Pickles.

Wash cucumbers and cut in quarters lengthwise. Soak in ice water for three hours. Drain. Pack into sterilized jars with three slices of onion, a slice of green pepper, a stalk of celery and one tablespoon ground mustard in each jar. Bring one quart vinegar, one cup sugar and one-half cup salt to boiling and pour over pickles. Seal while hot.
